This bill authorizes the District of Columbia Courts and the Public Defender Service to establish voluntary separation incentive payment programs for their non-judicial employees. The legislation allows these two agencies to offer financial incentives to encourage employees to resign voluntarily, following a similar model used by federal agencies under federal law. The maximum payment any individual employee can receive is capped at the amount specified in federal statute for federal employee separation incentives, which helps control costs. The bill does not specify a particular funding amount or implementation timeline, leaving those details for the agencies to determine through their own regulations. The legislation is intended to help these local D.C. government agencies manage their workforce and reduce payroll costs through voluntary attrition rather than involuntary layoffs.
